In other news, I just realized there is a glaring error on the resume I sent to every school. I use the word "perspective" instead of "prospective." Should I do anything? Or just pray they don't notice?

You can send it off as an "updated" resume? Maybe fix up a few things here and there or add foreign language fluency or something while you're at it.

Not a make it or break it issue, just fix it for future use...I think trying to submit an updated resume to fix that is just going to make you look a little desperate.

This. If they even notice, they'll probably give you the autocorrect benefit of the doubt.

I'm beginning to realize that texting Aardvark might have been a mistake... every time I get an email from Northwestern Law, my heart skips a beat only to read more about the clinics or an overview of the programs offered at NU.

I think there are NU rates at some nearby hotels. Not sure where the info on that is, maybe someone who's used it can fill in. Alternatively, I've had great results using the "name your own price" sites (priceline maybe??), as well as the one where you see the location and amenities but not the name of the hotel (hotwire I think?). You should be able to get a hotel for well under $100/night assuming you aren't coming on peak dates.

Hotels in the area may be pricy. I stayed at Chicago Getaway Hostel in Lincoln Park. Not a typical hostel in terms of amenities. Super clean, friendly, kitchen, free printing, private room for $70... And only a 20 minute bus ride to the law school. Good luck.
